PERFORMANCE
During the year under review, your company has achieved only a small
turnover amounting to Rs.1.20 lac compared to a turnover of Rs.10.61 lacs
of the previous year. As the members are aware, the Company has been facing
acute financial problems since the time it became sick and that is the
reason why the operational activities are almost negligible. The total loss
of the year under review is of Rs.145.53 lacs (Previous Year Rs.140.75
lass) after providing interest of Rs.125.69 lacs (Previous Year Rs.97.38
lacs). As there was no operational activity, no depreciation has been
provided (Previous Year Rs. 22.66 lacs).
FUTURE OUTLOOK

been registered as such with Hon'ble BIFR. The hon'ble BIER has recommended
to the hon'ble High Court of Punjab & Haryana, that the company is not

an official liquidator.
